    Let's hope a police report was made. And if the claim that his laptop was stolen then there may be a police report to back him up. Or it could all be an evolving lie.

    I took an account number into the Commonwealth bank once and asked who owns that account number before I did a transfer and they gave me their details, not sure if they are supposed to or not?

    Might be worth just going in to ANZ with the account number you deposited to and ask who's name that account is attached to as you believe you may have transferred to a wrong account.

    If the Silver Stackers account was hijacked and they used a different account then at least you would have a name.

    It would be best to first check if this is something the police can handle. If it is so easy to track him down then the police should be able to sort out the mess easily (hopefully).

    He obviously has a phone which likely means he still has access to the internet

    What I find unbelievable is
    Chip has some insight apparently
    And his being cryptic with what he knows , it seems to me
    That Chip has contacted the guy
    And yet more BS :mad:

    I do my own debt collection rather than outsource it.

    In my experience, the longer I wait to collect a debt, the higher the cost of recovery and the lower the probability of collection.

    He's not being cryptic at all and it's very poor form to use this as an excuse to criticise Chip. He made an effort to help and obtained some interesting info which was posted earlier and now it seems like Goldenjosh88 is screwing around Chip as well by not answering calls and maybe even lying to him.

    How many members in the forum are willing to help???
    A lot that knows , doesn't want to get involves.... This place the level of BS coming is greater than the HELP :rolleyes:

    This will be the first and the last I am going to get involves.
    Anything that comes from Spanner is BS!!!!

    So far chip has has been of help and i am only interested in facts at this point. he has logged on 3 occasions but if he is claiming laptop stolen then ip address would answer a lot of questions. also depends if he saved the password on the computer or not. if he does save password then hijack is likely. i know he has apple lappy so tracing it would be easy with apple ID.

    Told him to get in the forum to clear his name & sort out the mess asap
    I believe there are more than one person involve.

    Personally, It's good that you tried to help. But if you had spoken to him on the phone my guess is that he spun you a BS yarn. Now he has vanished like a virgin on prom night. I doubt you will ever hear from him again. Bahamas may be a good place find him.

    Hope slavaja acted quickly. Goldenjosh88 could be someone who was/is leaving Australia for good. If that's the case, there's virtually no hope of getting any justice. Then the only hope is getting an arrest warrant issued as a nice surprise if they ever return to Australia.

    If someone isnt picking up the phone it might be worth sending a certain someone a text message ...
